ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[peteblue]

Oh dear, how sad, what a pity…

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

On the one hand I am glad that the impact of grief on people is being highlighted, it is far too often not discussed especially among men. Combined with football making strides to address men’s mental health issues I overall think it is something worth discussing.

Sadly many footballers have faced loses of close friends and have described that impact, for example Iniesta honoring Dani Jarque after he scored in the World Cup final.

But the level to which it has been used in this case to excuse Liverpool performances by outsiders vergers on exploitative.

Thing is, it's not his ex co workers who keep going on about it (I don't think any of them have mentioned it for a while now), it's everyone in the media looking for an excuse for them. It's downright sick.

Slot says 'we have sold 8-10 players'

Shouldn't he, like, know how many exactly, being manager and all that?

Is he sort of 'Well, I can think of eight, but there might be a couple more, not sure...'

That's premiership winning management right there. Elite, really. YMCA.

Yeah they sold Ben Doak, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips

Completely weakened the team losing them and not being able to replace them properly with 100 mil players.

The way Rooney blinked when she said that says it all for me.

It's sickening to keep mentioning his death, although it wasn't an actual red this time.

To be fair to the supporters I think even they are fed up with his name being mentioned.

Putting rivalry aside, today is the 15th April, RIP the 97

Is it true that the PSG fans were locked in after the game to allow the RS customers to get to the airport ahead of them?

They got airlifted to that PL title last season too.

They haven't had a dominant team since the late 80s.

Since 1990 they've won two titles and the two are practically worthless as one was the null and void covid season; the other was when the authorities had City on the naughty step.

The CL final they won in 2005 was all down to Milan clocking off against a rank Liverpool team; the one they won against Spurs was...well...against Spurs.

An unprecedented quadruple of flukes you say?

 

[Yarrgh]

The utter state of this

The Dutch Dyche.

All world beaters, been doing this for years

Stop being such a biased bitter bloo. You missed out Stephen Warnock.

Putting rivalry aside, today is the 15th April, RIP the 97

That day haunts me to this day. Today - the 14th haunts me more. We were all teenagers drinking in a park in Fazakerley. With my cousins and mates, reds & blues, all had a few bevvies and left each other w “see you at Wembley lads”.

We went to villa park and hillsborough the next day with our dads and uncles.

Will never forget the scenes at that social club near villa park, then the journey home knowing they were all still missing, and going straight to meet their train at lime street, crying when none of them were on it.

My great uncles drove to Sheffield to find them. We stayed up all night. All the neighbours were there. We couldn’t celebrate. That call at 2am to the house phone to say they’d found my cousin alive but confused with a broken arm. And then the family of his best mate with us at the time. They said he’d died. Literally everyone howled and screamed in pain. Never forget that. Nothing was ever the same. My cousin was abused for having left his mate to die but protested that he was still alive when he got him on to the pitch before he lost consciousness himself.

My cousin got abuse for years and then the ultimate tragedy 25+ years later when the inquest showed his friend was still alive just as he’d said, he killed himself when he was finally exonerated.

There were more than 97 victims but most of all I despise how they have commercialised and weaponised that moment of our shared pain. And I will forever.

Debbie may do Dallas, but she certainly doesn't do humility.

Debbie's brief flirtation with punditry ended well then.

 

[Noble Savage]

Has it been that long since that awful tragedy? Feel so sorry for those who never got real justice.
